Hardy Co., WV - Fmr. Del. John Buckley, Libertarian for United States Senate, issued a statement today lamenting the “vapidity” of the latest round of dueling campaign TV spots polluting West Virginia’s airwaves by his Democratic and Republican opponents.

In the statement, Buckley identifies the issues with which his campaign intends to engage both other candidates.

Buckley has been campaigning full-time, spreading his “Live & Let Live” campaign message across West Virginia since May.

Libertarian John Buckley’s statement full text below:

"The latest round of dueling Tennant-Capito campaign ads reflect the vapidity of the major party candidates' campaigns. Unfortunately, the public is the biggest loser when serious discussion of major issues is sacrificed.

Shelley Moore Capito won't fight Obamacare. Natalie Tennant says not a word about domestic government spying and intrusions on privacy.

Instead, both candidates are hiding behind empty rhetoric on 'coal' to obscure their mutual records in support of bigger and bigger government."
